Premium Member Stained Glass

Such transparent lies, 
those sad eyes dipped in a smile;
Thinly veiled phrases 
masking colors all too real;
I see right through your stained glass.

The Incineration of Hope

Gathered groping 
The cheesy eloping
Thinly spread across time
Wandering amidst bloated stride
Burning from flesh to organ
Incinerating hope
And carrying no burden

Premium Member Bubble Gum Zeppelin

A lie is like a leaky zeppelin...
Patched together with bubble gum breath.
In time, it will violently come back to earth.
The earth's heart has a karmic core
thinly wrapped in gravity.

The Scab, Or For Donna

Covered thinly, by a bloody clot.
Unhealed.
Congealed.
Unwelcome obligations to eat, sleep, dress
fulfilled.
That your body is still here
is the best that can be said 
of this,
the first year.

Premium Member In the Air Is It Thinly ---Question Mark

Vibrations quiver in smoke-filled
volcanoes or parlors not much
difference.

You suck mine, I'll suck yours
both of us feelin'
for stuff that don't suck.

The difference between a fist and a
palm.. umm..
why is that not “duh!!”?

Mysteries, histories
and so on...

Shadows Densely Cast
David J Walker

How soon the night begins to call
Fall is falling fast

Shadows thinly passing all 
Daylight dwindles past 

A crusted moon 
a ragged ball

auric emblems last 
Hold your breath 

against a death
shadows densely cast
Form: Rhyme

What Is It

What is it?
I see it, hanging there
On the wall not even fall
Black in colour, small sized, round shaped
 

For a while through days
I thought it isn’t me thinking
That her style isn’t hers

I chose between curvy streets
Huge and noisy
A thing she may love 
Thinly and tinny 
Amazing hat.
Form: ABC

Breathe

flowers weep to early dawn
a passage from nightly quest
fleeting in our senses to no one there
stirring as though a waking child
passion cries in love despair
thinly veiled shame abruptly caught
angst wrought on wings
fly away fly
love sings to us
a sirens wail
a breath
a touch
a hearts desire

Lay's Potato Chips

Crispy, crunchy, baked to perfection.
Sparkling, golden, a mouth-watering complexion.
That feeling of joy sparks through your soul,
As you reach into the overflowing bowl.
Your taste buds are totally astound,
As you bite on the chip, so perfectly round.
Lightly salted and thinly chopped,
Baked and flaked and cropped and popped.
Form: Rhyme

Chef On the Go

My women's a rump-roast
Potatoes her thighs
Ripe reddened carrots
for thinly sliced eyes

Onions for folly
that lobes ring on high
Radishes hatched up
for lovers to eye

Thin flowing gravy
for sexual roll
Brown oily colors
as taken for soul

Thoughts for a woman
as something to know
When crawling to get one
as Chef on the go
Form: Quatrain

Hourglassed Symphony

Sands streaming through my identity
Who I was and what’s to come
     The pinnacle and troughs spinning 
Invisible in speeds slow and fast
     Above trials now and forgotten

     Existence cycles with imagination
Ever dispersing thinly
     As the midnight sands crest and fall
The wind tolling flat chimes
     Death reads the last stanza

You May Be Deep-Sea Fish

Deep-sea fish you find a picture book. 
There you can write your name, 
the human relations also describes. 
It sinks from a human edge to the deep sea. 
While drawing a spiral sink in loop. 
So to live for thousands of years, 
get the ugly of that has been refined. 
So after death quietly, it has melted 
music of thinly Franz Liszt in the background.

Dear Mother He Sang

Time was once a letter sent
A thinly packaged salutation
Revealing reads and rushes
A content discourse situation

Story lines entwined grapevines
Most privately complicit
A baton passed a relay cast
Too confidential to elicit

Artistic flair in swirling script
Stylish prose self styled emphatic
A photographic written pose
Of diatonic scale chromatic
Form: Couplet

The Final Straw

The final straw

thinly concealed stripe
heavy line easy
simple strike
it doesnt make me queasy
so simply fascinating
as it spreads further apart
the flood procrastinating
before it can start
shield cleanly cut
breaking tiny swords
not cold not hot
the flood is a horde
split the canvas
dry and crumbling
frames the tower as
and leaves them shambling
Form: Rhyme

Sally Martin Ii

The bags that sag under glassy eyes are purple
black. His face is downward drawn with pencil neck
and bow bent back. Devoid of chest a mass of thinly muscled
bone and flesh. He strokes Mary Martin at a soirée
by the garden wall. She sings lilacs to hummingbirds
as rainbows rise and fall. She whispers wonders wrapped
in riddles wove in layers, her looks, her touch, her smell,
at a soirée by the garden wall.

Abandon

Beauty betrayed me for it has found another
Now her splendor shines for all to see
My hideousness hides under this thinly veiled cover
All eyes on her
I have been forgotten long ago
She holds the baton now
My beauty just a blur
Once a merry go round of decadence 
Now just benign
It’s gone and faded away
She’s at the end
A new one comes
She joins the club
The abandoned ones
We are all the same underneath

Sleep you waking dreamless poet, 

earthbound whore of words.

Awakening to the world 

of differing drifted moments piled

high against all dreams 

still growing. Dreams unknowing 

held against your breast so tightly

curtain thinly thinning gone 

and merge with joy 

and merge with self and merge until

all aspects are but one 

and you are home.

Sweet waking dreamless sleep

the joy of home.

Broken

My heart broken
Sliced
Cut 
So deeply
Tiny incisions
They hurt the most

Paper cuts 
Thinly
The pain lasts longer that way
The loss I feel
Seeping out in the quiet of the harrowing nights

You break your heart everyday
The moment you wake up
And live without her
Now from inside
It does it of its own free will

My heart is crying
Dying
Disfiguring
Disforming
Birth cord cut like at birth


My Mum died...

Premium Member Firewood

Overgrowths of arm-post life Lift upward as my steam-breath Vanishes thinly into the sky Cool sweat drips deliberately As the stacks grow larger And the sawdust smells and sticks The wagon-load will wallow obediently As the frost bites cleanly Through the still winter dusk Ash white smoke curls softly From the cut-stone chimney Where a portrait of simplicity Sleeps eternally in my mind

Thinly

what we expect we get it see,
think thin yes that's bloody me,
all about self perception,.
self deception ...
con the mind the body follows:)

what no plurry fee!

Don Johnson 20-july-11
I'm  using the theory that we get what we fear and expect especially extra weight, 
(dumbo subconcious thinks it wants fat hey)  Look in the mirror see the younger ye, see
the mirror look just like thee. and then hunger for it, obsession:)

The Core of You

Just look hard into the core of you

if, for the luckless needy,
 your masked generosity
   springs from smug condescension
    thinly disguising disdain;

if your act of charity
 makes one feel like a beggar
  and you glorify yourself,
   cruelly rubbing it in;

if your seeming kindness flows
 from a sense of proud power
  that so aches to be flaunted
   and gratefully acknowledged,

then, look hard into the core of you.

Fine Dine

Perfect ceviche
Almost alive
Flounder, Corvina
Pacific coast fish flavored,
One you must try.
Slice
Clean 
Cut
Into 1 inch marbled cubes,
This is not a recipe
But a cooking muse.
Salt
Garlic and pepper
Then shower one of a kind Lime,
Mix with Aji Limo,
Get ready to dine.
Sprinkle
Twirl 
Thinly sliced 
Purple onion,
In the next 2 ½ minutes
Treat yourself,
To the perfect Ceviche 
Made in Peru 
You will eat nowhere else.

Veiled Contempt

Anger,
it was all it took,
he merely tossed a disdainful look,
thwarted attempt,
the beast smiled with thinly veiled contempt,
he was bold,
his heart cold,
as the words were told,
and the beast stood in silence
just for a moment,
his hatred palpable,
he shouted,
as pain 
screamed through him,
exploding the veins,
and his emotions drained,
he howled in agony,
he shouted in fury,
he cries,
darkness was his eyes,
death was on his breath.
